What if the decision in question, made by a federal court regarding a state matter, is not based on law but on the whims of judges?

As I mentioned before, just because you and Judge Moore don't believe that the decision was based on law doesn't meant that the decision isn't binding. That was my point. I still believe that the high moral ground for a judge lies in upholding the rule of law, even if he disagrees with it or the reasoning that led to it, and finding legal ways to challenge what he disagrees with.

Segregation was based on law and upheld by SCOTUS for 60 years. Should the civil rights movement therefore have not resorted to civil disobedience?
